After finishing up with Professor Strum with some NEWT revision as well as some advice on his supplementary research and translation efforts, Cooper just so happened to be in the corridor with the cracking noise echoed throughout it. Freezing mid-stride, the Ravenclaw was just a pace or two behind where the initial stone fell to the ground. Curious, he closed the space between himself and the stone and picked it up in his hand. No sooner had he pushed it around in his palm did the second crack come and the seventh year immediately untucked the book from under his arm to cover his head all while still holding on to that initial little pebble.

It was then that he saw the crevice forming in the wall, forming AND expanding, and as his gaze shifted so too did his head until it was looking up at the ceiling where a couple of small flecks fell and thwacked him in the forehead. "...what the..."

A large piece came down and Cooper dove out of the way and curled up as small as he could manage with his taller 6'2" frame with the book over his head. Ancient Runes was practically a tome at NEWT level, so it ought to provide some sort of protection in addition to the Algiz rune embossed on the cover.

When all the cracking and falling ceased, he timidly peeked out from behind his arms while still curled up on the ground beside the opposite wall and looked at the mess of debris in the corridor. Had their just been an earthquake?! Why were his thoughts immediately going to something awakening beneath Hogwarts and trying to break free? Like the Kraken. Had someone released the Kraken - and no, he did not mean Bartholomew Henry's half cousin or any other relation.
